Local Environmental Conditions
The heart of Atlanta is surrounded mainly by woodland, which covers around 66% of the nearby area, with a good deal of built-up land. A nearby park adds mown lawns and planted trees to the local pollen mix. Oak heads the list of allergenic trees nearby, ahead of maple and pecan. Beyond the trees, grasses matter a great deal, and ragweed and pigweed are the main weed sources.
Oak, maple and pecan lead the season in mid-spring, as temperatures climb to around 15°C, and tree pollen reaches its peak. Grasses take over in late spring, with temperatures around 20°C, and their pollen lingers into early fall. The season closes with ragweed and pigweed from late summer into mid-fall. By early winter, pollen levels are low again.

How often is the Atlanta pollen forecast updated?
The Atlanta pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in Atlanta come from nearby or far away?
Studies show that most pollen exposure (often 70–90%) comes from nearby sources, such as local trees and vegetation. A good pollen forecast therefore depends on accurately representing local vegetation. Pollen can travel long distances, but this usually matters only early in the season or during specific wind events.
Are pollen levels in Atlanta based on measurements or forecasts?
Pollen data is often misunderstood. Most "pollen levels" are not real-time measurements, but forecasts.
Direct pollen measurements are typically delayed by 1-2 days because they require manual analysis. To show current conditions in Atlanta, modern forecasts combine recent measurements, weather data, and information about local vegetation.
This allows us to estimate pollen levels for today and the coming days, not just report the past.

Understanding the Scale
The 0–100 pollen scores represent risk levels, not direct pollen measurements. Higher scores indicate higher risk.
Pollen
| None | 0 | No or negligible risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be minimal. |
| Low | 0-25 | Low risk of exposure. Small amounts of pollen or mold spores may be present. |
| Moderate | 25-50 | Moderate risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be noticeable. |
| High | 50-75 | High risk of exposure. Elevated pollen/mold exposure is expected. |
| Very High | 75-100 | Very high risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be at or near its highest levels. |
